Departments must align maintenance programs with LEED 2009 Sustainable Site Credit 2 and LEED v4 Sustainable Sites for existing buildings operations and maintenance. Harsh chemicals should be avoided, cleaning strength matched to tasks, and solutions chosen to meet environmentally preferable purchasing requirements. Exterior cleaning favors manual methods, limits runoff, and uses electric or battery-powered equipment; gasoline tools require exceptional approval. Hardscape sweeping should not use water except for stain or hygiene needs, while landscape work prioritizes manual and electric or battery equipment.","MAINTENANCE OF BUILDING EXTERIORS, ROOFS,\nHARDSCAPE,  LANDSCAPE AND EXTERIOR PAINTING\t1821.6\n(New 10/2015)11/2018)\nTo reduce the harmful effects of chemicals and air pollution on the local environment and to promote water and energy conservation during exterior maintenance activities, departments are required to develop a maintenance program consistent with the guidelines outlined in Sustainable Site Credit 2: Building Exterior and Hardscape Management Plan of LEED 2009 or the Sustainable Sites Prerequisite of LEED v4 for Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance and in accordance with the additions and modifications described in this policy.

The strength of the cleaning solutions should approximate the level sufficient to obtain satisfactory results. Do not use cleaning solutions stronger than necessary for the particular task. Cleaning solutions for exterior maintenance should be Green Seal certified or equivalent and should conform to Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) guidelines as stated in SAM 1850.\nExterior Maintenance: Sweeping or raking areis the preferred methods of exterior cleaning; blowing is allowed when appropriate and when authorized by facilities management[RD2][PB3]sweeping[RD4] or raking is not practical. When using a blower, electric or battery powered equipment should[RD5][PB6] be used. Engine powered blowers may be utilized in compelling circumstances and with the prior authorization of facilities management[RD7]. Departments are to adopt building exterior maintenance programs that conserve water. These programs include using manual cleaning methods over those that require high volume water spraying equipment. Water use, while sometimes necessary to carry out certain cleaning activities, should be carefully monitored to avoid excessive waste and runoff. If pressurized washing equipment is necessary, use equipment at the lowest output settings necessary to achieve satisfactory results. When power washing equipment is needed, use electric powered or battery- powered equipment to reduce air and noise pollution. Gasoline powered equipment should only be used in unusual or compelling circumstances and only with the prior authorization of facilities management.the building maintenance supervisor[DC8][PB9]. Departments are to replace gasoline-powered equipment (including pruning equipment)with zero-emission [BD10]strategies[DC11] including\n(but not limited to) electric, battery powered or manual, or\t-\npowered equipment non-emitting [BD14][DC15]as equipment replacement schedules\n[RD16][PB17].\nHardscape: Water should never be used for general sweeping of hardscape\nalthough pressurized water use for purposes of specific removal of stains or grime from pavement, or for hygienic reasons, is considered reasonable use. State facility childcare centers with playgrounds and patios where food can be consumed should also be hygienically and routinely maintained. The monitored use of pressurized water would be appropriate for these areas aswell.\n(Continued)\n(Continued)\nMAINTENANCE OF BUILDING EXTERIORS, ROOFS,\nHARDSCAPE, LANDSCAPE AND EXTERIOR PAINTING\t1821.6 (Cont. 1) (New 10/201511/2018)\nLandscape: Landscaping tasks should be done with manual equipment whenever possible. For tasks that require power equipment, electric or battery powered equipment should [RD18]be used first whenever possible. Equipment in this category includes, but is not limited to, mowers, leaf blowers, string trimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, pole saws, and tillers.
